Ace
Greater LondonAmazing Ace is a fun loving, intelligent and sweet natured boy who melts the hearts of everyone he meets. He is very affectionate with those he knows but can sometimes be worried by strangers, barking at some, so will need an understanding owner that will provide him with reassurance and guidance when needed. He is always up for an adventure but prefers quieter areas as he can become overwhelmed and frustrated in busier environments. He loves a good game with his toys and thrives on having a job to do such as scent work or tracking. This lovely lad would suit an experienced and active owner that has plenty of time on their hands to continue with his training and socialisation as well as keeping him mentally and physically stimulated. Ace has a lot of love to give and will make a highly rewarding companion for the right person or family.Ace is looking for a home in a quiet area or where he will have quick access to an open area or park. He can live in a ground floor flat as long as there is direct access to a private garden. He can live with sensible, junior/secondary age children that have lived with dogs before, will give him space when needed and won't be intimidated by his bouncy nature at times. He could also potentially live with a dog confident cat as long as his owner will facilitate slow intros and teach him not to chase! His new owner will be expected to continue his training and socialisation and will receive three free 1:1 sessions with our Mayhew Animal Behaviourist to help guide them. Ace has a previous injury to his left hip, which occurred when he was a puppy. This means the hip joint is no longer sitting in its normal position. Over time, his body has adapted, but this has resulted in a slightly shorter leg and some muscle loss on that side. Despite this, Ace is very active and enjoys exercise, and he does use the leg when walking and running. We are carrying out a short trial of anti-inflammatory medication to ensure he remains comfortable. Some dogs with this type of injury may benefit from intermittent pain relief long-term. In some cases, dogs with this condition may require surgery in the future if they become more uncomfortable or their mobility worsens. Ace has been microchipped, neutered, will have received his first vaccination and is up to date with flea & worming treatment. He has also been health checked and behaviourally assessed. Lastly, every dog adopted from us will go home with 4 weeks free pet insurance.If you are interested in adopting Ace, please read the information below including the 'Other notes' section, to check your circumstances match theirs.
